The Making of Morihiro Saito’s Commentary on “Budo”

This photo was taken in May 1998 in Iwama when the Aikido Journal staff was shooting the technical sequences for Morihiro Saito Sensei’s Commentary on “Budo,” Morihei Ueshiba’s 1938 training manual. During the photo shoot, Saito Sensei offered many insights about how the techniques were executed and how they evolved later in the postwar period.
